Long day stimulation of dry matter production in Poa alpina along a latitudinal gradient in Norway
Photoperiod extension with weak include from 8 to 24 h stimulated relative growth rate (RGR) of Poa alpina up to 20%. The response was greatest in young plants at low temperatures. The leaf area ratio (LAR) increased by about 50% which more than compensated for a reduction in net assimilation rate (...
